Star of Mrs. Browns Boys, Rory Cowan comes to Marco Pierre Whites Courtyard Restaurant in Donnybrook to create a meal of two starters, two main courses and two desserts. Rorys menu featured many classics, from a Prawn Cocktail to Fillet of Irish Beef to Crème Brulée. However Rorys nod to an accepting Nation, a Rainbow Cake for a Rainbow Nation left some diners with a sour taste in their mouths. The Resident Critics, Tom Doorley and Marco Pierre White were joined by food activist and writer, Ross Golden-Bannon. The top table raved for Rorys John Dory main course but was it a top score for Mrs. Browns favorite son, Rory Cowan? It is a long day in the kitchen for our celebrity guest chef, who spends the day perfecting his menu with the professional Kitchen team. The doors open and the restaurant fills with real diners whose comments are beamed live back into the kitchen for the guest Chef and Kitchen Team to hear. The three Critics score the meal out of five stars. The show wraps when the Guest Chef is revealed and then the scorecard is handed over.

“Unfortunately my mother is not very well at the minute and I’m on the other side of the world is that is a bit difficult but being single it’s not.”

Rory - who is openly gay and plays a gay character in the show - said two different women have got down on one knee in Melbourne and although he refused their kind offers, he kept the rings they gave him.

And it’s not the first time as in 2014 when Mrs Brown’s toured Australia he was inundated with offers of marriage.

Rory said: “I have had two wedding proposals again - I turned them down but I kept both of the rings.

“They were both during our Melbourne run - one on Tuesday night and the other on Saturday.

“The rings are beautiful - one is an Australian opal ring and the other is like two glitter balls, it’s very bling.

“I wear them both on stage but I explained to one woman: “Listen, I’m gay” and she said it didn’t matter that we would be compatible.”

“I got two proposals the last time I was in Australia as well - so maybe it’s just going to become one of those things like throwing your knickers at Tom Jones.

Rory said: “I bought my house in August 1990 and I have never had one single person in my house for dinner in those 25 years.

“I don’t have people over for parties and the idea of having a dinner party would never cross my mind.

“I’m a Marks and Spencers cook - bang it in the oven for a certain time at a certain temperature and then it’s cooked and that would do me

“But I find the idea of cooking for others daunting so when I heard I would be cooking for 50 people with two starters, two main courses and two desserts I nearly pulled out.

“I’m glad I didn’t because I had the best day - it was such hard work but it was brilliant and I enjoyed every minute of it.

“The most stressful thing was knowing I was cooking for Marco Pierre White and 50 people.”

And Rory’s menu caused a bit of a stir with the celebrity chef and punters.

He said: “They loved some of the stuff and they hated some of the other dishes to the point they thought there were two people cooking - I think they thought they had Jedward going wild in the kitchen.”
